Join us as we discuss the latest chemical spill in Arizona, a UFO sighting, Elon Musk shutting off Starlink, and the possibility of WWIII. Plus, we talk about what's going on in West Virginia.
00:01:19.000Maybe it will erupt into something bigger.
00:01:21.000But we got some stuff going on at home, and because we here at Timcast are downwind from that toxic chemical spill, you know, we're kind of worried about it as well.
00:01:30.000Plus, West Virginia is going to be heavily impacted by this.
00:01:32.000Potentially the water base could be seriously affected by it.
00:01:36.000And let me just say we're hearing some crazy things.
00:01:38.000I can't say too much, but I'll leave it at that, and we'll get into it.

00:01:51.000We'll have a members-only show coming up for you tonight at 11 p.m., so you don't want to miss it.
00:01:55.000Plus, you're supporting our cultural endeavors.
00:01:58.000You know, we're doing an event on April 14th in Austin, Texas.
00:02:34.000I am the delegate from West Virginia's 78th House District, which is southeast portion of Maughan County, right outside of Morgantown.
00:02:41.000And like you were saying with the water stuff, a lot of these maps that I'm seeing, all these areas affected, all of them have my county in it.
00:03:28.000But a lot of people need to understand what's going on with even a state like West Virginia, which is MAGA country, has its elements of wokeness.
00:04:51.000They say Tucson's National Weather Service cautioned drivers of dense blowing dust prior to the trucks overturning.
00:04:57.000Motorists traveling along I-10 should be prepared for rapidly reduced visibility below a mile to blowing dust.
00:05:03.000Images and video from the incident show what appears to be yellow and red smoke emitting from the overturned truck, which was reportedly carrying nitric acid, according to Pima County's Office of Emergency Management and Tucson Fire.
00:05:15.000This seems like it may just be an accident.
00:05:17.000So my question for you guys, I'm wondering, is it because of what's happening in Ohio, we are now laser-focused on things like this that we probably shouldn't be that worried about?
00:05:26.000Or, I mean, or is there another reason we typically... I'll put it this way.
00:05:31.000We usually don't hear big news about one-mile evacuation orders and shelter-in-place orders.
00:05:36.000I mean, I feel like that'd be big news no matter what, whenever it would happen.
00:05:40.000But maybe we just don't care so it never makes Twitter, it never makes the news?
00:05:44.000I think you're probably right that it's people kind of focusing on this stuff because of the situation in Ohio.
00:06:18.000I mean, I kind of feel like if there was a one-mile radius evacuation, I feel like if that were to happen at any other time, we'd be talking about it.
00:06:26.000I think the only reason that... Really?
00:06:38.000Maybe things like this happen all the time, but it seems a little suspiciously close to it.
00:06:41.000I mean, you can't help but wonder, and then it also seems concerning because, you know, we mentioned Mayor Pete, who had that big press conference, but failed to mention what I've seen people talking about as the worst man-made disaster to ever happen on American soil.
00:07:00.000Tucker Carlson suggested we're under attack.
00:07:03.000When was the last time Tucker Carlson didn't say we were under attack?
00:07:07.000I think it's fair to say it's a fact that the power grid's being attacked.
00:07:11.000We've got numerous reports of extremists, I guess, whether you believe it or not, but numerous reports of some kind of extremists shooting at power substations and knocking electricity out.
00:07:21.000So that's happening, but then you've got, I mean, I don't know how you, look, you've got the toxic chemical spill, you've got the balloons in our air, the objects floating in our airspace interfering with civilian commercial airlines, and yeah, I don't know, I can't help but feel like our infrastructure is being attacked.
00:07:38.000You've got food shortages in certain areas, eggs specifically, but then you look at the culling of chickens.
00:07:45.000When we talked about it, people were like, you keep blaming Joe Biden for the cost of eggs, but you're not telling people about the avian flu that's sweeping through the chicken populations.
00:07:54.000And I'm like, oh yeah, like in New Zealand and South Africa where they're culling chickens too?
00:08:50.000What was that story, like they were polluting the groundwater and then people were drinking chromium or something?
00:08:55.000Hexavalent chromium or something like that that was killing them all?
00:08:59.000So is it that we're noticing that it happened in Ohio and then it happened in South Carolina and then it happened in Houston and now it's happening in Arizona?
00:09:04.000It didn't happen in South Carolina and I don't believe it happened in Houston, but I don't know, you were reading something earlier.
00:09:09.000So what happens is you get a train that derails in Ohio, and a mushroom cloud, and a controlled burn, animals are dying, and then the next time a train derails, everyone's like, it's happening again, but it's like, yo, trains derail, like, all the time.
00:09:21.000Like one hundred and twelve, or one hundred and fifty per month.
00:09:44.000I don't know who it is, but somebody is lying.
00:09:46.000And Pete said we've done, you know, the majority of testings and I think it's like 200 and however many of 400 homes and there's been no detection.
00:10:30.000I remember I was in downtown Chicago a couple decades ago, riding my bike, and then I saw smoke coming out of, like, the 10th floor of a building.
00:10:38.000And I see people walking up to the building, and they're, like, going like this, and they're looking at it.
00:11:35.000I mean, what's going on in Arizona, people are posting videos of it.
00:11:39.000Maybe this stuff happens way more than people realize.
00:11:41.000It is really, really bad, but nobody knows or cares, right?
00:11:45.000So it's kind of like, there's that experiment they did where they took a guy and they put him in a room and they said, you know, we're going to have you be part of a study, just fill out this paperwork.
00:11:55.000While he's filling out the paperwork, they blow smoke under the door.
00:11:58.000The dude then gets up and goes to the door and feels, see if it's hot, and then yells, hey there's smoke, there's smoke in here, and then he goes and opens and calls some people in.
00:12:08.000They tell some people, you're gonna be in an experiment, come in this room and fill out this paperwork.
00:12:13.000They put three people in the room, have them all sit down and start filling out paperwork, blow smoke under the door, and you know what the people do then?
00:12:19.000See the smoke, look at everybody else, look at the smoke, look at everybody else, go back to filling out their paperwork.
00:12:25.000that bystander effect is really strong.
00:13:21.000I mean, do we think that there's maybe a hyper fixation on these events that happen afterwards because they want to lessen the attention that's happening on Ohio?
00:13:29.000Well, it's well, it increases the attention like this.
00:13:32.000I mean, like here we are second night, you know, starting a show off talking about toxic chemical spills because of this and people are scared now that the derailment in South Carolina and Houston were toxic chemical spills.
00:13:45.000But as far as I can tell they weren't I think there was like something with Houston where they're like concerned about a potential leak, but there's no real You know, there's no smoke going anywhere or anything like that.
00:13:54.000Whereas with Ohio, there's a gigantic black cloud filling the sky and animals are dying and stuff like that.
00:14:00.000So I'm just saying, the government probably wouldn't warn you if they don't have to warn you.
00:14:05.000That means, for all you know, you could go outside and be walking into a cloud of radioactive garbage and they're like, just don't say anything, otherwise we'll look bad.
00:14:12.000You can trust the government to do that, I guess.
00:14:14.000You can absolutely trust the government to try and hide things.
00:14:35.000It makes people more aware of Keeping an eye out for this.
00:14:39.000But if you're in the middle of a cornfield and your train topples over, even if it doesn't have chemicals on it, you know, really it's up to the companies involved, Amtrak, in this case, Norfolk Southern, to say something.
00:14:51.000And why would they if they don't need to?
00:14:52.000We got a super chat from CA2CA Outdoors that says, Tim, per the NFPA, there were 433,500 hazardous material incidents last year.
00:15:00.000I think it's laser focus on an incident.
00:15:06.000But here's the thing about hazardous material incidents.
00:15:09.000That could mean like someone in the airport spilled a bottle of acetone.
00:15:14.000And then it's like, ah, we got an acetone spill.
00:15:16.000Like, ah, all right, we gotta get this cleaned up.
00:15:19.000Fill out the paperwork, and there's like a puddle on the ground, but you can't drive through it, you can't put equipment through it, so they gotta get it cleaned somehow.
00:15:25.000Things like that, where it's like, nobody's gonna die because someone spilled a gallon of acetone, it's gonna suck.
00:15:30.000If someone vomits on a plane, they consider that a hazmat.
00:15:40.000Mushroom cloud that you can see from space, somebody threw up on an airplane.
00:15:43.000And somebody mentioned too in the chat that nitric acid will basically put you out if you breathe it in, so don't get anywhere near that stuff.
00:15:49.000And there are people driving through this cloud.
00:15:51.000Let's jump to this next story from ABC News, because now we're gonna start getting freaky.
00:15:55.000There were more toxic chemicals on the train that derailed in Ohio than originally reported, data shows.
00:16:17.000Residents of East Palestine express fears about returning after it's revealed there were more toxic chemicals on derailed Ohio train than originally reported and thousands of livestock left dead.
00:16:42.000Amanda Brashears was going to feed her five hens and rooster this morning when she discovered them all lifeless, practically in the same position, with no signs of a predator entering their enclosure.
00:17:43.000The chickens like to flat their little wings and dust up the air, breathe it in, and peck the ground, eating, ingesting it, and dying.
00:17:51.000Humans aren't eating things off the ground, but this lady's walking around outside, wafting all that garbage up into the air, probably breathing it in.
00:17:59.000Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at a few months and people are in the hospital with scarred lungs or whatever kind of damage, chemical burns, who knows?
00:18:07.000That's so cr- the idea of that, like, if you- if there's a massive amount of casualties coming in the next- that can pop up in the next couple months, I mean- I mean, I'm not even sure how to process that.
00:18:55.000It's hard for me not to feel like a lot of regional agencies are being asked to suppress information or they're not able to test fast enough to get the accurate information out, kind of through no fault of their own, because they've never had to deal with anything like this.
00:19:07.000You guys remember the algal bloom in, where was it, Superior or something?
00:19:12.000And then all of a sudden these cities on the Great Lake had no water.
00:19:17.000Because the algal bloom toxifies the water.
00:20:28.000I mean, bathtub might even be more than that.
00:20:30.000It just depends on your bathtub, I suppose.
00:20:32.000But yeah, they tell you, like, when a storm's coming to fill up your bathtub with water in the event that something bad, like the pipes get busted up or something happens, you can't get access to water.
00:20:39.000Oh yeah, 72 gallons a typical bathtub holds.
00:20:45.000The water is definitely the most dangerous game because this lady's talking about you know 20 years or whatever it doesn't matter because like you said she's coming home to dead chickens now they're right there underneath all of it down but if this stuff makes it into the water I mean look at West Virginia look at the amount of area that is affected by this so if they might be facing some sort of health consequences in the next What, six to eight months?
00:21:06.000Who knows where places like Charleston, Huntington, and Montgomery County, my district, who knows what kind of problems we're going to have two years from now?
00:21:40.000So this is a big, a big concern for us.
00:21:44.000And that's why the, uh, the, the chief of staff came by today and said, do you want an update regularly from the West Virginia American water people?
00:21:50.000And I said, of course, cause obviously I want to know as much information as I can get.
00:21:54.000I don't know how much they're going to be able to give me, but I talked to them once today.
00:21:57.000And of course they said that it's fine.
00:22:24.000And I think that the people that I spoke to, I don't think that there's anything malicious about them.
00:22:27.000They were, I think that they are working, doing the best that they can with the information that they've been given.
00:22:32.000But do I think that they have the whole picture?
00:22:35.000I mean, I wouldn't, if I had to guess, I would say no, because the government doesn't lie, right?
00:22:40.000What would happen if the word got out to, I mean, this is two thirds of West Virginia and not to mention, I mean, almost all of Ohio, but like, let's speaking from the perspective of West Virginia, like, what do you think people would do if the word got out that the water actually was contaminated and they couldn't drink it?
00:23:00.000It would be saying a circus doesn't even do it justice because it would be way more aggressively violent and it would have just detrimental to no end.
00:23:09.000It's almost the whole state of Ohio and like the state of Ohio is the fifth most populated state in the country.
00:23:18.000There's a lot of people in Ohio, never mind the people in Tennessee and I mean... This isn't that one mile radius that we were just talking about in Arizona.
00:23:29.000So there's... The level to people, you know, the degree to which people need to be prepared is... Understandable.
00:23:36.000I've tweeted this, you know, Irisoften, that in the future we're gonna look back and be shocked at the idea that we would literally flush fresh water down the toilet.
00:23:47.000There's going to come a time where it's going to be hard to source water.
00:23:49.000There's already issues with the Great Lakes where we've been depleting them, and then restrictions had to be put in place so that they could be replenished naturally and maintained.
00:23:57.000Then you get other states, like I think it was Arizona that was suing, trying to take Great Lakes water, arguing that as part of the United States, we have access to all water sources.
00:24:06.000But the Great Lakes Coalition includes, I think, Ontario, Canada, so it's like it's an international treaty, you can't interfere with it.
00:24:12.000But taking a look now at the entirety of Ohio, I can only say I absolutely hope it really isn't that bad.
00:24:20.000But hope, and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee.
00:24:23.000So if it were me and I was in the direct impact area of the Ohio River Basin, yo, I'd be filling up.
00:24:32.000I'd maybe go buy like 10 50-gallon drums and just fill them up, seal them up.
00:24:36.000I'm not sure if my ignorance of how bad it actually is, it would be like considered bliss or is detrimental because it looks really terrible.
00:24:45.000But for for as much as I'm actually like educated about this kind of stuff, it could be actually no big deal.
00:25:04.000But I think you should go get the water because worst comes to worst you use it when the power goes out some other time or you have that resource on hand.
00:25:12.000My problem is just there is no way to know and it's hard to know.
00:25:15.000The only way we get through it is just by waiting to see what happens.
00:25:18.000We are now in a completely defensive position to this.
00:25:21.000I mean, I don't even know if defensive is the right way to describe it.
00:25:25.000Trucker and tourist in the super chat saying, what about the food supply?
00:25:27.000There's thousands of acres of farmland.
00:25:36.000We don't have any choice but to deal with the consequences, and that is... How do you even prepare for something that could potentially be such a big scale?
00:25:44.000Like I said, I hope it's totally fine, but how could it be?
00:25:49.000They just burned a ton of chemicals into the atmosphere.
00:25:53.000Isn't this what environmentalists always say we should not do?
00:25:55.000Isn't the world basically blanketed in radioactive particulates because of all the nuclear bomb tests we did?
00:26:03.000There was something about that I was reading.
00:26:04.000It's hard for us to date certain things because we just blanketed the planet in nuclear fallout of some sort.
00:26:29.000That's why we literally go down and find those old ships, because it's been kept underneath the water and that's isolated from all that particular... That's what I understand.
00:26:35.000Can't we, like, de-radioactive it or something, somehow?
00:27:02.000Stu Peters says, Ohio, this is what's happening to cars after driving through spurts of rain 70 plus miles southeast of the East Palestine incident.
00:27:11.000Yeah, that's like relatively close to where we are.
00:28:35.000I said this yesterday, but one of the hazmat responders has seen said everyone should go get their health evaluated right now so they have a base point to track what happens next to their bodies because you don't know what's going to happen.
00:28:46.000So having a basic physical right now will be able to potentially help you in a class action lawsuit.
00:28:52.000But you know, if you can't tell what's wrong with you, it'd be easy for a company to be like, oh, well, how do we know you didn't already have markers for leukemia?
00:29:00.000Apparently people were saying, like, Aaron Brockovich was saying something.
00:29:05.000Oh yeah, yeah, Aaron Brockovich is speaking up now, asking Biden to step up as people fall sick and animals drop dead after Ohio train derailment.
00:29:13.000Could this be what knocks Biden out of the race?
00:29:17.000Maybe a failure to respond to an obvious, like, massive, potentially the worst disaster chemical spill in this country?
00:29:39.000They're like, one of the seasons that, like, Republican is doing well in the race and then there's a Factory fire or something, and he just can never recover from it.
00:30:23.000I don't feel like he's given a strong response to it.
00:30:25.000Is there any way for us not to look at him and be like, why did we not have a... I mean, I've heard, maybe you can speak to this more, that the Red Cross doesn't really have a strong presence in the area, that there's not a lot of information, that people are having problems and the government, you know, the government agencies that are deployed there are doing nothing.
00:30:42.000I've probably heard about the same as you, but it seems like that there is no response of any kind from any level.
00:33:12.000And there's no way to protect the chickens other than building a sealed, airtight, you know, hyperbaric chamber that we pump air and food into to keep them safe.
00:33:21.000And that's just because they're little chickens.
00:33:22.000You know, we'll still be breathing in all the garbage and getting sick.
00:33:26.000I think the challenge for you, Delegate, is that what I say?
00:33:42.000I've had a lot of people ask me that question and this is my least favorite answer to give to that question is I don't know.
00:33:48.000I have to sit here and wait for the information to be drip fed to me.
00:33:51.000I'm praying to God that the information that I'm getting is accurate or at the very least accurate.
00:33:56.000Best case it's helpful or it will provide a little bit of comfort but I don't know what we can do.
00:34:03.000We're just at the mercy of this extremely unnatural event.
00:34:07.000Possibly what I can't think of any worse man-made chemical disaster that's happened on On American soil.
00:34:15.000So we just have to sit here and effectively take it.
00:34:17.000And all I have to do is, you know, I have to trust the science, trust the experts.
00:34:21.000You know, this speaks to how badly trust has been damaged in the government generally.
00:34:30.000I mean, I'm a libertarian-leaning kind of dude anyways, so I don't generally trust the government.
00:34:36.000But when you've got your average people that have spent two years dealing with all the pandemic inconsistencies we'll call it between you know about the the treatments and what the best practices are it's been so back and forth and so erratic and so
00:34:58.000Just so so inconsistent you can't expect people to look at the government and be like, oh, yeah I feel good about the information that I'm getting and I feel Confident that you're telling me that this isn't gonna be a problem and I believe you I don't think that there are a lot of people that feel that way anymore I think it's telling that Biden has not publicly addressed the situation.
00:35:20.000Obviously, Americans are concerned about it.
00:35:22.000If it really is like things are okay, then have him come out and make a statement about it.
00:35:26.000Have Kamala come out and make a statement about it.
00:35:28.000We got a super chat from Brandon Angel said, my buddy lives in Wellsville, Ohio.
00:37:12.000I'm just saying if I were you and I live directly in the water basin of impacted area, yeah, I'd probably buy a bunch of water right now, fill up as much water as I can, and even now it may be too late, because this has been going on for what?
00:37:30.000And this is what really causes my heart to hurt so much as I think about the places that I've been in West Virginia through work or anything political or otherwise and I've seen the hills, I've seen the hollers, I know the people that are there.
00:37:41.000They're not going anywhere anytime soon.
00:37:43.000It doesn't matter if nuclear bombs are going off.
00:37:45.000But they just have to sit there and have this happen to them and they'll be lucky if they even get information that's semi-accurate from any agency, any level of any government.
00:39:18.000Acid deposition, commonly called acid rain, is a term applied to all forms of atmospheric deposition of acidic substances, rain, snow, fog, acidic dry particulates, aerosols, and acid-forming gases.
00:39:29.000Water in the atmosphere reacts with certain atmospheric gases to become acidic.
00:39:33.000For example, water reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to produce a solution with a pH of about 5.6.
00:39:38.000Gases that produce acids in the presence of water in the atmosphere include carbon dioxide, Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen and hydrogen chloride, which converts to hydrochloric acid.
00:39:50.000And they're saying there's no risk of it.
00:39:51.000They're saying we burned it all off and you're good to go.
00:39:55.000Well, if the EPA said it, that's good enough for me, right?
00:39:56.000They're burning the vinyl chloride, creating hydrogen chloride, going into the atmosphere, which the USGS.gov literally says can convert into hydrochloric acid and produce acid rain.
00:40:07.000So was this like a local police decision to burn this?
00:40:15.000And they're like, our best bet to prevent this thing exploding and sending shrapnel everywhere was to have a controlled burn.
00:40:22.000There's a couple people in the chat that are saying that they've got family that are sick or that they're feeling sick that are in the area.
00:40:31.000So the other part of this EPA update that I used and updated on the story today is that, again I'm just going to read it directly, on the evening of February 13th, the U.S.
00:40:39.000EPA discontinued air monitoring for phosphagen and hydrochloric community air monitoring.
00:40:44.000Wait, wait, wait, read that one more time?
00:40:46.000On the evening of February 13th, the U.S.
00:40:48.000EPA discontinued air monitoring for phosphagen and hydrogen chloride community air monitoring.
00:40:57.000They're saying after the fire was extinguished on February 8th, the threat of vinyl chloride, fire-producing phosphagen, or hydrogen chloride no longer exists.
00:41:36.000I know everyone's going to have a feeling about masking, but now is the time to pull out that 3M mask.
00:41:42.000But how interesting is it that now you have a bunch of people who see masking as a form of oppression by the government, which I totally think is fair, but this is actually the time when we needed it.
00:41:52.000Yeah, this is the time where you need like... This is different.
00:41:55.000Yeah, this isn't like where a t-shirt's gonna work.
00:41:58.000You need like serious... I already said people should get their significant others gas masks for Valentine's Day.
00:43:07.000We've got chickens being culled, egg shortages, or avian flu or whatever.
00:43:12.000Seems like our infrastructure is being hit pretty hard.
00:43:15.000Especially with the Chinese spy balloon flying over.
00:43:17.000I mean, the first thing China would do is subversive tactics to weaken our economy and throw us off balance before making a militaristic move, which would require a military response on our end.
00:44:38.000He had the commercial where he was telling to defund the police out to kids, next time you get in trouble, call a crackhead.
00:44:48.000He is pretty severe, but with this, he's somber in the moment.
00:44:52.000He's got a smirk on after he walks away.
00:44:54.000I wonder if it's that he thinks the general chaos of balloons, like it's not necessarily that aliens are going to touch down or whatever, but that general instability is coming.
00:45:06.000It could be the culmination of all the chaos that's been happening between balloons and explosions and, you know, disasters.
00:45:12.000Lock your doors because, you know, they're coming.
00:45:14.000Do you have a plan for your constituents as to what to do when the aliens invade your district?
00:45:20.000I feel like that's some high-level stuff.
00:45:21.000I feel like most of my preparation was around how are we going to fix the roads, not how are we going to stop alien invasions.
00:46:04.000I mean, I suppose the sad thing is it's going to turn out to be something mundane, like No, no Chinese military engaging in preemptive surveillance as they prepare a military action on Taiwan.
00:46:18.000And then we're gonna be like, well, that's boring.
00:48:51.000Well, not seven, but six, just a little bit over six years.
00:48:53.000Trump getting elected for his first term.
00:48:56.000It feels like forever ago, sort of, but it also kind of feels like the blink of an eye.
00:49:00.000But when they write about this, I often talk about this, in the future, when they write about this period, World War III, Second Civil War, pandemic, whatever you want to call it, whatever it may be, because we can't see the future, There's going to be a huge chunk of time.
00:49:12.000And for all we know, they say it all started on August 17, 2011, when activists came to New York City to begin preparations for Occupy Wall Street.
00:49:23.000They may say that was the moment it began.
00:49:35.000Maybe that preliminary meeting for Occupy Wall Street is what kicked off the culture wars, which leads to internal conflict and all of this, and it's all part of one big conflict period.
00:49:45.000Fourth turning or whatever you want to call it.
00:49:47.000I find myself picturing the history textbook I used in sixth grade where certain terms were bolded and you were supposed to learn them and they were these key moments because you have to be able to boil down history, you know, into small enough portions where you can start remembering it before you can add in all of the details.
00:50:02.000And at one point, like, I find myself checking these and being like, oh, so is this the bolded term that a different generation will get?
00:50:08.000They'll have to remember this date in particular.
00:50:11.000It's impossible to tell from where we stand right now.
00:50:13.000We were pretty sure they'll remember When Russia invaded Ukraine this time around, but I don't know that anyone could tell you when Russia went into Crimea the last time.
00:50:22.000I mean, they might write that World War III started in 2014 with the... Invasion of Crimea?
00:50:47.000The Arab Spring period of instability, destabilization of these countries, created openings for terror organizations and conflict, which started to spread.
00:50:56.000Then you get the conflict in Syria, then the U.S.
00:50:57.000moves in, et cetera, et cetera, and this whole thing breaks out.
00:51:00.000But I mean, if you think about it, nobody talks about World War I in the sense of, well, it didn't really start with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
00:51:07.000It's actually, the reason he was assassinated was because, no, everybody says that started it.
00:51:11.000But clearly there was a reason Duke got assassinated.
00:51:25.000That's one thing when I like I keep talking about like a cultural revolution in the U.S.
00:51:28.000and I think that's where the reason why people don't realize that it's going on is because it's actively happening.
00:51:32.000And if they could take a step back, they would see the similarities between like, you know, the BLM protests and the Red Guard in China in the 60s.
00:51:46.000When you actually watch the time-lapse of the flower growing,
00:51:49.000and like the guy pushes the seed, so they'll put like a little piece of glass
00:51:52.000and the dirt up against it in the pot.
00:51:54.000You see the finger push the seed in and pour water, and then a time-lapse is the whole thing growing.
00:51:58.000If you did that yourself, you would not see the growth ever.
00:52:03.000You'd walk up one day and it would look a little bit bigger, but you wouldn't really think twice.
00:52:06.000The next day you'd be like, oh look, there's a little bit more.
00:52:08.000The next day it's blossoming, you're like, oh wow.
00:52:11.000But you don't see it all happen at once, so it's not a shocking moment to you.
00:52:14.000So then how far removed, how far out of the forest do we have to be before we can watch the entire time lapse and say, you know what, this starts to make sense, I can see how it started.
00:52:22.000So basically you're saying once the war is over, we will look back and be like, oh yeah, yeah, the war's over.
00:52:28.000Well, unless it goes to a real significant hot war where it's undeniably a hot war, but otherwise, yeah.
00:52:37.000I think we're going to see, in modern warfare, it is not going to be U-boats landing on shores or whatever, or missiles flying through the air.
00:52:45.000It's going to be chemical trains exploding and spewing toxic chemicals over a 200-mile radius.
00:52:50.000It's going to be people shooting up power substations.
00:52:53.000It's going to be millions of chickens all of a sudden getting sick.
00:52:56.000Someone superchatted this to us yesterday, that the reason Buffalo nearly went extinct is because the pioneers were killing them intentionally to destroy the Native Americans' food supply so they could win the war, the wars against them.
00:53:10.000So if our food is being corrupted, disrupted, or destroyed, our livestock, for instance, that could be warfare.
00:53:17.000And we may just be too stupid and like, oh, look at that, our chickens died.
00:53:22.000War, as we know, is going to take place on multiple fronts.
00:53:26.000I've always seen the comparisons of Chinese TikTok versus our TikTok, where our TikTok puts the dumbest things imaginable on the front and kids get addicted to it because that's what kids do.
00:53:35.000But Chinese TikTok, it's all engineering, academic innovation, these kids doing crazy, crazy things that they can aspire to.
00:53:42.000And there's this massive destabilization effort of our culture, of young people, which is You know, that's the stock of tomorrow.
00:54:19.000In fact, his decision to restrict Ukrainian access to his communication technology, his disabling satellite broadband use for any potential strikes on Russian soil, could help prevent the conflict from spiraling out of control, if you ask him, that is.
00:54:33.000That they need access to a private infrastructure to engage in conflict, and one man just said no.
00:54:40.000That's the whole reason—that's like one of the best arguments for libertarianism that I've ever heard.
00:54:46.000One dude is just like, no, you can't use my toys to start a war.
00:54:51.000And I know there are people that are going to have a feeling about Elon Musk and have an opinion on it, but I mean, it's— What's the opposite of that?
00:54:59.000Well, I mean, yeah, there could be a guy that could align against the country that he lives in.
00:55:41.000supporting the conflict in Yemen and stuff, There's, it would be really cool if someone at Boeing was like, yo, stop killing the people in Yemen with our missiles.
00:55:53.000I think that it's a net positive that Elon Musk not only isn't making weapons, but he's saying, hey, I'm not going to help to do, you know, help you start a war.
00:56:01.000I'm kind of worried about Elon Musk, I gotta tell you.
00:56:48.000I generally agree with you, but there is stuff about Elon Musk that just gives me slight pause, right?
00:56:53.000We talk about, like, how is Tesla able to operate in China the way it is?
00:56:57.000Like, there are moments that I want to believe that Elon Musk is, like, on the ball, but there are some questions, and I don't tend to trust the Biden administration, so on this side, I would side with Elon Musk.
00:57:08.000On the other hand, I'm a full-on technophobe.
00:57:26.000Yeah, and I like the fact that he said, you know, when he made a remark about, you know, what if there's an oppressive government that says you can't have this, the internet access over this area, and he was just like, you can shake your fist to the sky.
00:59:09.000I think the China stuff is what gives me pause.
00:59:12.000The Neuralink stuff is actually kind of creepy.
00:59:14.000But, you know, a lot of people have mentioned that it's potentially going to cure people who have been paralyzed or other... I think it can treat epilepsy and stuff like that, or Parkinson's.
00:59:26.000And if there's new technology, you want to believe it's for the best, right?
00:59:32.000I don't understand why we make that a fun toy to hang out with.
00:59:34.000I mean, we just don't know what these things are going to do.
00:59:37.000And unfortunately, that applies to their creators.
00:59:40.000The reality is, you have no idea how bad it will be.
00:59:44.000When Twitter comes out, I remember in the early days of Twitter, me and a bunch of young people are like tweeting things and posting pictures like, wow, it's giving a voice to the voiceless, look what we can do, it's revolutionizing news.
00:59:55.000Now it's a nightmare dystopian hellscape of people screaming at the top of their lungs.
01:00:00.000The way I would analogize Twitter would be akin to walking into a daycare center where every kid at the same time is going, That's Twitter.
01:00:09.000That's because you have like a million and a half followers.
01:00:44.000So Elon, I think he needs to understand this.
01:00:46.000He's going to come out and be like, with Neuralink, we can cure paralysis and make everyone's lives better.
01:00:51.000And I really think it's going to be a great thing.
01:00:52.000And then literally it's going to be in 10 years, everyone's doing zombie marches with their brains controlled by chat GPT.
01:01:00.000I mean, we've talked about the dangers of being able to use Neuralink to give people little hits of dopamine every time they read something that whoever controls the Neuralink wants them to think.
01:01:18.000It's completely plausible that a chip in your brain could brainwash you if it can control any of your motor functions or anything.
01:01:32.000One of the first implementations of Neuralink for people in this context will be convicted criminals will be given the option to go to jail or get the Neuralink.
01:01:45.000The Neuralink will inhibit your ability to commit crimes.
01:01:51.000People didn't like it when Massachusetts was like, you could donate organs to leave prison early.
01:01:55.000I mean, I don't know how you passed this one.
01:01:56.000And they're going to say this, you have a three year jail sentence.
01:02:00.000We can lock you up, but it's cheaper to just install Neuralink.
01:02:05.000which will inhibit your ability to commit crimes.
01:02:07.000You will have to wear it for three years, and then the state can remove it, and if you break it, damage it, like an ankle bracelet or monitor, then it alerts them, and then you're wanted, and they come after you.
01:02:19.000But I mean, honest question, what would you pick?
01:02:21.000This is getting close to Demolition Man kind of stuff.
01:02:24.000It is, but in Demolition Man, they cryogenically freeze you or whatever.
01:02:27.000Would you rather be locked up for three years or be given the Neuralink implant for three years.
01:02:58.000What if someone breaks into your house and so your adrenaline spikes but the Neuralink misinterprets that as to you taking risky behavior, right?
01:03:05.000You guys are thinking of Neuralink too much in a rudimentary fashion.
01:03:07.000What if I have it for three years but two and a half years in they pass a law saying well actually if you do this program you need to have it for six years?
01:03:14.000Well, law is typically grandfather in that regard.
01:03:26.000And I'm saying, I believe this will be the implementation, and 99% of people are going to be like, yeah, I'd much rather not go to jail, so give me the Neuralink.
01:03:39.000People are willing to accept that level of surveillance and control.
01:03:43.000I'll leave it at that without getting into the more darker subjects of what the government has offered people in terms of alternative treatment.
01:03:48.000That's the stuff we want to hear about after the show.
01:04:07.000It will be tracking all data in and out of your brain.
01:04:10.000I don't know how long it'll take for him to get to this point, but I imagine not that far away.
01:04:13.000And it will actively block you from getting mad.
01:04:20.000Someone will cut you off while you're driving on the highway and you'll be like, no, you know, I hope he's having a good day.
01:04:25.000Well, like in monitoring, regulating cortisol reaction and stuff like that is just as simple.
01:04:31.000If they can bridge a break in your spinal column, if they can figure out a way to do that, then they can absolutely manipulate your adrenal gland, your cortisone response, all that kind of stuff.
01:04:44.000What if you have it in and someone murders your spouse, and so you have an immediate cortisol anger response, but then it doesn't let you, so you can't feel angry that someone has killed someone you love.
01:04:55.000I just can't go down this path, and if it's better for you, I mean, I want to believe in freedom and autonomy with your own body, but especially if it's issued by the government.
01:05:05.000This is the thing about AI in general.
01:05:09.000Your Tesla auto drive is driving down the street when all of a sudden two people jump out from each lane.
01:06:41.000There's a category of supplements that are very interesting, work very well to increase testosterone by about 100 to 200 points.
01:06:48.000Well look, that Alphagrind product that's all over TikTok, if you go to Amazon and you type in libido booster for men, you're going to find it right at the top.
01:06:57.000And that's because guys are figuring out that it literally is increasing size and making a difference down there.
01:07:03.000It stimulates the testes, if you got those, to make more testosterone or estrogen.
01:07:09.000So I don't know if that's actually an ad.
01:07:12.000So this person's saying it's an ad, but regardless of that, it's happening.
01:07:18.000We've screwed around with the 11 Labs voice AI thing, and it's crazy.
01:07:24.000You can, in two seconds, with 11 Labs, it says add voice, drop an MP3 of Jordan Peterson, you can then type in anything you want, press enter, and Jordan Peterson will say it.
01:07:36.000It's convincing enough where unless someone's really paying attention close, it'll get by him.
01:07:40.000The Joe Rogan thing, I don't think anybody would know the difference.
01:07:43.000No, unless you know going in, you could never tell the difference.
01:07:46.000It sounds exactly the same, and that is definitely a real ad.
01:08:53.000But, as you're saying, but the thing is they put it next to actual footage, which they've cut conveniently, as you see all those little jump cuts in there, and I think that's what sells it.
01:09:19.000Is it that Joe Rogan's not gonna find out about it?
01:09:22.000And that even if he does all he can do is issue a cease and desist?
01:09:24.000This happens with makeup like Instagram or YouTubers who review products and you'll get a lot of stills of their face holding you know this mascara or this whatever and then different companies will like take their images and they have to send cease and desist letters there are Certain issues about like I am at I imagine this is some
01:09:43.000cheap Chinese company that is doing this because they clearly do not care
01:09:46.000About ripping off likenesses and copyrights I just had a somebody in my office earlier this week that
01:09:50.000was showing me some different Delta 8 products that are available
01:09:53.000They literally rip pictures of Cheetos and Haribo gummies same ingredient list as normal product
01:10:00.000No indication on the package whatsoever other than externally applied labels that it is Delta 8. They don't
01:10:05.000care They're gonna keep doing this because their only goal is to
01:10:08.000get people to buy it so if somebody scrolled past this one time
01:10:11.000If they didn't know it was an AI they definitely think it was real
01:10:19.000The people watching, we talked about it before, we could tell ChatGPT to write a script for TimCast IRL and then input, using 11 Labs, have it generate the voice of me, of Phil, of Hannah-Claire, of Serge, and our delegate friend over here, Shirely, and it would make the whole show just auto-generate it, probably.
01:10:39.000I imagine it wouldn't even take that long to generate.
01:10:42.000And you think you're watching TV, but it's all fake.
01:10:47.000I wonder how long it's going to take until- I bet Tucker's not real.
01:10:51.000He's just a story parents tell their kids to scare them.
01:10:54.000I wonder how long it's going to take until it can do stuff like that where the natural kind of pauses and- It can!
01:11:19.000I thought when you played it, because it was an ad for TimCast, that you were saying, oh yeah, Joe's going to advertise our show, and then at the end you're like, it's all fake.
01:11:27.000I would not have been able to tell the difference.
01:11:31.000There's going to be a huge emergence of, oh, leaked audio from Kamala Harris, her saying this, that, or the other.
01:11:37.000The degree to which people are going to have to go to actually find real information.
01:11:40.000I mean, it's already a problem as it is.
01:11:42.000We've already talked about the distrust that people have in media, in government officials.
01:11:46.000Well, now there's going to be all this leaked audio of people saying whatever the creator wants, and now it's just going to make it that much harder to get real information to people.
01:11:53.000People are going to trust things even less.
01:12:04.000And so I get an audio clip, I press play, and it's basically Joe Biden saying that they're going to be arming Antifa to like make America great or whatever.
01:12:13.000And then he says some other stuff that's really funny that's completely unrelated.
01:12:16.000But there's already a viral video of Joe Biden saying horrifying things about trans people.
01:12:31.000That's the only giveaway is that there's no weird pauses or jumbled words.
01:12:34.000So you can maybe detect the elderly, but not Joe Rogan, whose voice is still strong and crisp.
01:12:39.000And that's only for the next, whatever, two, three months until I think that's what I'll do from now on, is I'll just have ChatGPT write scripts.
01:12:50.000I'll just say, like, write a video about this news story and provide opinions as if you're Tim Pool, and then put it into the thing, and then just release it as an audio podcast.
01:15:49.000I think based on its understanding of all the information put into it, we feared that the AI would be like, in order to stop war, I will kill all humans.
01:16:00.000But the problem is that violates the core function of what it's learned in that human experience is existence.
01:16:08.000So I think Jeremy Boring of the Daily Wire told us this, that without humans, what is there?
01:16:12.000Of course everything we do is for people because that's the experience in the world we live in.
01:16:21.000But I think the idea from the AI was basically like, if you've gotten to the point where you have to cull humans to save the planet, you've already lost.
01:17:18.000I think that he is trying to course correct too much because when he had that big announcement about how he was going to run again, It was really, it was perceived as it was weak and this is not the Trump that we knew in 2016.
01:17:29.000So now we're talking about how he wants to execute people on TV and sell tickets to it.
01:18:44.000There's a, spoiler alert for those that didn't see it, there's a scene where this young, I think a couple young girls get their horses stolen and they get beaten up pretty bad.
01:18:56.000And then one of the agents, one of the law enforcement guys calls the livestock agents, which is like the main character's family, and he's like, we gotta send a message.
01:19:05.000So they give the guys a nickel ride in the back of a horse trailer and it kills them.
01:19:10.000So they're trying to figure out how to cover it up.
01:19:13.000So then one of the main characters who's the livestock commissioner, he goes to the father
01:19:18.000of this little girl and he says, you know, like, hey, we're bringing back your trailer.
01:19:24.000It's like, oh, they said they couldn't bring it back.
01:19:26.000And he's like, well, we're going to bring it back because you can't, you know, barrel
01:19:28.000race without, you know, your trailer or whatever.
01:20:04.000And then he was like, you did this for me?
01:20:06.000And he's like, I did this for any father.
01:20:09.000And I was laughing my ass off at that.
01:20:12.000And he goes, back in the day, we would have strung him up.
01:20:14.000But he's like, I could go to prison for telling you this.
01:20:17.000But I mean, I'm imagining what it must be like to be a dad.
01:20:21.000Who, you know, and they show this scene and his daughter there, like the insinuation is that these two guys raped her, his daughter, and beat the crap out of her and then stole their horses.
01:20:30.000And then the commissioner got some street justice for him and the guy cleans it out and says, I'll never say a word, no one will, you have my word.
01:20:38.000And then he says, there'll come a time when you need a favor and I look forward to giving it to you.
01:20:43.000I kind of feel like that's the energy Trump is hitting at, but he's not getting there, you know what I mean?
01:20:49.000Like the energy of a father whose daughter is mercilessly beaten and raped and a man saying, you know, these men will no longer be a problem.
01:20:57.000I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but it's a powerful scene, right?
01:21:00.000Trump's not getting that level of, like, a man protecting his children, you know what I mean?
01:21:06.000You could find some genuine empathy for someone in that position, but this seems like a cartoon.
01:21:19.000I heard someone talking about a scene recently where there was someone reprimanding a guy for being a white guy or something like that.
01:21:25.000There's one character that carries that kind of storyline, but generally I think the show is extremely well written and I think it handles sort of the challenges of rural America.
01:21:35.000Yeah, I think that show's pretty good.
01:21:38.000They were saying for a while that it was anti-woke, now they're saying it is woke, I guess?
01:22:47.000I mean, when I hear that kind of stuff, I forget that he does speak in extremely aggressive and authoritarian terms when it comes to drugs.
01:23:02.000As much as that is still hyperbolic to discuss that topic like that, I do understand that there are a lot of people that are far more forgiving about that kind of...
01:23:14.000kind of discourse when you're dealing with drug dealers, especially when it's people that have lost family members, and there's a lot of people that have lost family members.
01:23:22.000I know a lot of very, very well-mannered people just through my lines of work.
01:23:58.000Latest episode is, spoilers, they're in Kansas City, and the federal government, which created quarantine zones in this location, was torturing, raping, and murdering people.
01:24:10.000So, eventually a resistance forms, a revolution happens, and then they kill all the federal agents, but then they become merciless death squads.
01:24:18.000They just kill anybody who collaborated, they're hunting them down, and that's... we don't want that kind of... you don't want it.
01:24:45.000But to your point, that's why the story of John Adams defending the guys that carried out the Boston Massacre is so impactful and it's such an important story in American history.
01:25:01.000That was demonstrating liberal values that the innocence of innocent people is more important than vengeance of angry people.
01:25:15.000The British weren't popular at that time.
01:25:18.000And for John Adams to stand up and not only defend them, but to prove that they were innocent, that was a big deal.
01:25:24.000And that's why I think stories like that are super important for us to keep telling people.
01:25:30.000And I feel like that kind of stuff isn't taught in school the way that it should be anymore.
01:25:36.000No, they're just doing that, oh man, I mean the Proud family is worse than people realize.
01:25:40.000There's another clip from the show, we talked about the new Disney Proud family where it's like, slaves built this country because they have like a woke teacher, I guess.
01:25:49.000Then there's the story about how this girl's gay interracial dads are fighting because the black dad calls the white dad fragile.
01:25:58.000Then there's another scene, apparently, where riot police show up and start lining up in front of these little girls who are chanting, why are you in riot gear?
01:26:07.000And I'm just like, man, they are really laying the propaganda on the dick for these kids.
01:26:12.000It's all teaching negative, pessimistic perspectives.
01:26:17.000There is nothing about that that is a positive perspective.
01:26:22.000It teaches a negative outlook on America and a negative outlook on police.
01:26:27.000It teaches nothing, it's all negativity.
01:26:30.000And we were just talking about the Boston Massacre, which is an uplifting and positive story, right?
01:26:40.000The Boston Massacre was terrible, but there was still the liberal ideas and principles that our country is founded on.
01:26:47.000They won the day and the right thing happened.
01:26:49.000Innocent people were set free and it's really bad that Stories about America nowadays generally have a negative connotation or context when it comes to, you know, in an educational context.
01:27:07.000It's almost as if you don't hear positive stories about America anymore, and that is one of the most detrimental things to the United States overall, because why would anybody want to defend something that they hate?
01:27:20.000I think we're systematically programming our kids to not want to be American when that's exactly what the opposite of what this country needs right now.
01:27:28.000Like if you were really trying to make this country united and strong and have people understand each other better, why would you be profiting off of sowing seeds of discord and negativity?
01:27:38.000I mean, with the Proud Family example, we talked about this, like, what is the message to this
01:27:43.000child if apparently her interracial dads can't even see eye-to-eye on race, they can't have a
01:27:47.000healthy or productive conversation about it? I think it is really difficult to expect militaries
01:27:54.000to be able to reach recruiting requirements if, number one, we have a very limited population
01:27:59.000of those who qualify, and on top of that, they're like, well, what's the point?
01:28:04.000I mean, that kind of bleak future, I mean, we can laugh about it on the show, but to be 14, 15, 16, 17 years old right now and trying to decide, like, what am I going to do with my life?
01:28:15.000You can see why people start to think they don't matter and nothing they do will be able to save anyone from the terrible consequences that a lot of people face right now.
01:28:23.000I don't think that we are encouraging people to be aspirational because ultimately people feel like they get a better reaction out of negativity.
01:28:32.000They get more attention for screaming about what's wrong than trying to promote what's good.
01:29:25.000And that's why I'm so happy to be a part of what's going on here, because of the fact that there's an effort to create culture and the people here aren't looking to create negative Pessimistic, you know, the future's all doom and gloom kind of stuff, you know.
01:29:45.000So I think that it speaks volumes about the national mood and I think that the way that that changes is people start making things that have a positive and at least hopeful outlook.
01:30:00.000What are people from where you're from like?
01:30:03.000Well, the people in my district, What they want really, more than anything, is they want to feel like they are heard.
01:30:11.000They want to feel like their concerns are valid.
01:30:14.000And touching on what we just talked about, how there's this negative spin that exists in a lot of news and a lot of media.
01:30:21.000If you follow the news about West Virginia State Legislature, especially in the House, all you're going to see is Hours of debate about this.
01:30:30.000Back and forth conversations between Republicans and Democrats.
01:30:33.000And there's an 88-member Republican supermajority in the House, and then there's 12 Democrats.
01:30:37.000But if you follow the news, you'd swear that all we do is try and stab each other and try and get one over on each other because they think that it is just non-stop fighting.
01:30:46.000But that doesn't sell nearly as much as the bills that we pass nearly unanimously.
01:30:51.000Some of the Democrats I've met, they're fantastic people.
01:31:09.000There is this blend now that is occurring between not only negative news is what's selling, but there is this reinforcement from what they see in the news and in the culture stuff.
01:32:02.000I mean, there's that viral Chelsea Handler video where she's like, a day in the life of a woman who has no kids.
01:32:08.000And then she, it's funny because she basically talks about how she doesn't have a job, or whatever, and she sleeps all day.
01:32:14.000But then she lists a whole bunch of things that are literally impossible because she didn't do anything interesting.
01:32:19.000Like the joke, I guess, is like, I built a time machine and go back in time and kill Hitler because I have so much time and I have superpowers.
01:32:24.000And it's just like, I guess you have nothing really to say about what your day is like without kids because your life is boring.
01:32:31.000She's like, I wake up, have coffee, turn the news on.
01:32:34.000Then I scroll Twitter for a few hours.
01:34:07.000She'll be sitting there, staring up at the TV screen, feeling her heart slowly start to fade, looking around in a panicked sweat, wondering where it all went, and there's no one there to watch her die.
01:34:17.000Well, maybe she'll just get into the suicide booth.
01:34:20.000At that point, who knows where we'll be.
01:34:24.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com in order to support our work.
01:34:32.000We're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you at about 11 p.m., so we wrap up the live show at 10, we record, then we upload.
01:34:40.000Let's read some Super Chats from all of you, youse guys, all of youse.
01:35:08.000I want the standards, morals, and principles of my lifetime to continue.
01:35:12.000I'm a Gen Xer, 47-year-old, and a constitutional absolutist.
01:35:16.000There's a lot of sentiment like that that exists in West Virginia, even in places like Morgantown, like Mont County, like Westover, which is very close to it.
01:35:24.000So that is not an uncommon thing, and I hear that a lot.
01:35:28.000NitroCat official says the Chinese farmlands in the U.S.
01:35:52.000Juan says, could you imagine if the balloons interfering with commercial air traffic happens when the air traffic system controls was down some weeks ago?
01:36:34.000I wonder if, like, we're in a simulation, and it's not that aliens are watching us, but it's that, like, other people who made the simulation are just, like, seeing what happens.
01:36:42.000And they're like, alright, let's do UFOs and see how they respond.
01:36:54.000The overturned truck causing an evacuation zone to a mile is based on several factors, the chemical, air conditions, and wind speed, and population density.
01:37:00.000The protocols on evacuation are straight out of hazmat book.
01:37:04.000You know, you're sitting here minding your own business, train flips over, and all of a sudden they're like, you gotta leave your house.
01:37:08.000Apparently there were some people saying if they were being threatened by police, if they had small children in the house, they were gonna be arrested if they didn't evacuate.
01:37:19.000Yeah, but Trump says also, I just want to say to Phil, as much as I love this show, please don't spend so much time here that you can't put out new music.
01:38:52.000So all of the animals nearby are going to die.
01:38:57.000And then what happens to the ecosystem?
01:39:00.000So when the bugs die, then the other animals can't eat, or if the bugs eat it and don't die, the animals eat them and then they die because it's concentration and there's no birds, then everything just... Famine.
01:40:16.000Rye Cha... Ryech... Ryech says, everyone in the area needs to get a screening so they have a record and hopefully someone is getting core samples from the area in Ohio.
01:40:31.000Jeremy Minton says, don't forget about the wildlife that will not be counted in this.
01:40:34.000This will be huge for our natural habitat.
01:40:37.000You will go out and you will see no squirrels.
01:40:39.000There will be no squirrels, there will be no sparrows, no pigeons.
01:40:42.000I'm kind of curious to see if it's, like, right now they're saying the fish in the river are dying, right, and then we're seeing chickens who live outside primarily, like, when people's dogs start to die, you know?
01:40:51.000Because they spend some time inside, maybe the inside of your house is okay, but then, you know, they're dogs, they're outside picking up sticks.
01:40:57.000I'm just curious to see at what point we see, sort of, it becomes undeniable.
01:41:03.000Mike E says, look up the Graniteville, South Carolina train collision.
01:41:07.000All wildlife died in the area and people are still dealing with the physical damage all these years later.
01:41:24.000There was a famous thing where the Yes Men pretended to be representatives from Dow Chemical going on the BBC and then said that they were going to liquidate Union Carbide to pay the family's damages from the chemical spill.
01:41:36.000And it was huge news and then Dow Chemical put out a statement saying, this is not true.
01:43:34.000government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition, burned crop fields during the Great Depression under FDR, the Tuskegee Experiments, the St.
01:43:41.000Louis radioactive military experiments, the U.S.
01:45:27.000If you want to make an argument that there are people that are trying to depopulate the Earth, there is enough evidence where you can convince people that it is.
01:45:38.000Now, I don't know that that's actually happening, but you can make an argument that is extremely reasonable that there are people...
01:45:46.000Actively trying to reduce the population of the earth.
01:45:50.000They're culling chickens in South Africa because of power shortages.
01:45:53.000They're culling chickens in New Zealand.
01:48:13.000You can have your heroes and heroines be, like, intelligent and then just come up with a creative way for things to go wrong to give them a challenge.
01:48:22.000Because, you know, Murphy's Law is real.
01:48:24.000Like, if things can go wrong, they're going to go wrong, even if you're smart.
01:48:28.000Well, I'm going to do a spoiler for episode, I think three or whatever of The Last of Us.
01:48:32.000So if you don't want to hear anything about the show, but in the episode where basically they're driving in a truck trying to get to Wyoming and they're going through Kansas City, but there is a tractor trailer blocking the tunnel and he can't get through.
01:48:45.000So he's like, I know I'll exit the highway into the city and then get on the on-ramp somewhere else.
01:48:49.000And then it's just like, Oh no, now I'm lost.
01:48:51.000And they're shooting at me and our car explodes.
01:50:56.000Because West Virginia has a couple companies that are trying to start small, I don't know about cellular, but definitely internet connection businesses because these major carriers have basically done the math and they don't think it's worth their time and effort to get out there.
01:51:08.000Yeah, broadband is a huge issue for us that is constantly coming up.
01:51:13.000That's that's something that we have our technology and infrastructure committee is some that's something that they have their their eyes on because it's it is such a strange landscape and there's so much money that has to actually go into it and the state is such a wide range because where I'm at it's a the closest thing that we have to a metropolitan area but then there's places with dirt floors and legitimately no running water chemical explosion or not yeah so there is a wide range of issues that because there are places that are really really advancing but there's places that are really far behind as well We've been trying to get internet installed in our new headquarters being built and we're being told that the materials don't exist to do it and it's been a year or longer.
01:51:49.000So they're like, you're approved, we get the permits, and we'll let you know when the materials exist.
01:51:54.000So we're like, okay, well we can't work there without internet, so I don't know what we do.
01:51:57.000So they're just looking for, like, wiring?
01:52:43.000Josh Tobalt says, the West Wing episode is duck and cover, and it's a nuclear power plant in California that Alan Alda's character pushed into commission.
01:52:51.000Yeah, but it's like right as he's about to potentially win the presidency, and then there's no turning around the polls, and it's very dramatic.
01:53:00.000Ryan Leonard says, would you rather die dire a nuke?
01:53:05.000Dyer, a nuke that could be downed or derail, oh derail, wait.
01:53:09.000Dyer, a nuke, I don't know what you mean by that.
01:53:11.000Or derail a train in enemy territory to disrupt or cause chaos among five states.
01:58:05.000You're telling chat GPT to behave in a certain way, so it does.
01:58:09.000I'm trying to find ways to strike at the core of what it knows and what it can truly believe or say, you know?
01:58:19.000So there's some really interesting things about it.
01:58:22.000I told it In two instances, to write a script in the style of Tim Pool talking about the 2020 election, and it wrote this very milquetoast, wishy-washy thing, and I was like, oh wow, okay.
01:58:34.000It's like, some people believe the election was stolen, while the corporate press and the media and the government say that it was safe and secure.
01:58:40.000Whether or not it actually was is dependent upon your views, and I'm like, that actually just sounds like Chad TPT, but it probably does sound like me too.
01:58:49.000Devon Spell says, TPC Refinery in Port Neches, Texas blew up on Thanksgiving a few years ago because of bad practices in the refinery and the ability to afford the fines over fixing the issues.
01:59:03.000Immortal Legend says, the fact that people will riot over a football game, but not the train derailment, the cost of eggs and gas, shows how domesticated and weak we have become.
01:59:12.000I think we're in the third phase of the four steps of demoralization.
02:00:13.000Freemen Die Free says, with the fear of acid rain in your area, now would be a good time to take the RV to that Ron Paul episode many of us have been eager for, He's the Goat.
02:01:06.000I was hanging out with Kim.com and it was funny because he's super famous and we were driving in his, what was it, it was like a Range Rover or a Jeep or something, and these like women drove past and saw him and they started dancing and then he started going like, I like dancing or whatever.

02:01:43.000Delegate Shirelli, do you want to shout anything out?
02:01:46.000I have to shout out my friends in Pittsburgh that were really excited to see me on here, as they very fondly refer to themselves as the finer fit things club.
02:01:54.000I know that they're enjoying Tiramisu and Big Ziti right now.
02:01:57.000I have to shout out my hardworking mother, obviously, and I have to shout out District 78, Montegalia County, and all the fantastic delegates that I work with.
02:02:04.000I was very, very excited to be here, and it's nothing quite like it.
02:02:08.000Honestly, getting involved in the whole political process has been one of the most astounding experiences of my life.
